Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

After dinner, everyone naturally went their separate ways.

Since they had been drinking, Wu Yun had Hawkeye come drive Qi Fei and her parents back to their villa.

Of course, Wu Yun declined Qi Guo’s invitation to stay at the villa. ’What kind of joke is that?’ he thought. They weren’t married yet, after all. Even though modern attitudes were more open, it would still affect Qi Fei’s reputation if word got out.

Watching the Rolls-Royce drive away, Wu Yun opened the passenger door of Poison Thorn’s car and got in.

"To Huilu International."

.....

In the Rolls-Royce, Qi Guo watched Hawkeye, who sat bolt upright, driving with white-gloved hands. The navigation voice on the phone was speaking in English.

Qi Guo decided to try out his broken English. "Where are yo from?"

Hearing her dad’s English, tinged with his thick Sichuan accent, Qi Fei couldn’t help but cover her mouth to stifle a laugh. "Dad! He speaks the Huaxia language! Stop showing off your terrible English!"

As a company president, Qi Guo was certainly thick-skinned. Not the least bit embarrassed, he asked, "Brother, where are you from?"

Hawkeye kept his eyes on the road. "Mr. Qi, I’m from the United States."

Qi Guo continued, "What made you decide to come to Huaxia to be a bodyguard?"

A smile touched Hawkeye’s lips. "First, an invitation from a comrade-in-arms. And second... well, Mr. Wu pays very generously."

Hawkeye spoke slowly, so Qi Guo understood him clearly.

"Could you tell me what your salary is? Do you have any other comrades who might want to be bodyguards?" Qi Guo thought having foreign bodyguards gave Wu Yun a certain prestige. He planned to hire one or two himself once he made more money. ’Having foreigners work for me would really show how powerful Huaxia is now. See? Foreigners are no big deal; they’ll have to listen to me, too!’

Hawkeye glanced in the rearview mirror at Qi Fei, who was leaning against the armrest in the back. ’She’s undoubtedly the boss’s lady,’ he thought. Without hesitation, he answered, "In Huaxia terms, it’s 35,000 Huaxia Coin a month, after taxes, plus full social insurance and housing benefits. The year-end bonus is calculated separately."

Qi Guo was flabbergasted. That salary was on par with his company’s project managers, and that didn’t even include bonuses! It seemed his plan to hire foreign bodyguards would have to wait until he was earning a lot more.

He recalled that Wu Yun had four foreign bodyguards and one from Huaxia. He figured the local bodyguard’s salary wouldn’t be any lower than theirs. By that calculation, Wu Yun was spending over two million a year on bodyguards alone.

Just then, Liu Yan asked from the back, "Feifei! I heard Xiaowu found you a female bodyguard, too?"

Qi Fei hummed in agreement. "My female bodyguard is an elite from the security company Wu Yun hired. She’s basically my personal bodyguard now."

"How thoughtful of Xiaowu," Liu Yan said with a smile.

Qi Guo asked curiously, "How come I haven’t seen your bodyguard?"

There was a hint of jealousy in his tone. He was the boss of a large company, and in all these years, he’d only managed to hire a retired soldier as his driver. His own daughter, Feifei, was getting far better treatment than he was.

"I gave her the day off. When I’m with Wu Yun, there’s nothing to worry about. Besides, what’s going to happen in our own country, as long as you don’t go to secluded or dangerous places?"

Since they knew Wu Yun’s bodyguard understood the Huaxia language, Qi Guo and Liu Yan held back from saying much more in the car.

When the three of them returned home and sat down on the sofa, Qi Guo finally asked, "Feifei, how much do you really know about Wu Yun? Tell me the truth. This will affect my upcoming decisions."

Hearing this, Liu Yan immediately asked, "Old Qi, is this about what you two discussed in private this morning?"

Qi Guo nodded. "Yes. Wu Yun gave me a map of Rongcheng’s future subway plans and the plans for a new airport."

Having been by Qi Guo’s side for so long, Liu Yan had picked up a thing or two about business. She asked, "Are you trying to figure out if these plans are real?"

Qi Guo nodded, then shook his head. "I’m mostly convinced they’re real. I just want to confirm Feifei’s relationship with him. This affects future investments. Wu Yun said he could provide capital or buy shares. That alone suggests the map is at least credible."

"If he’s just playing around with Feifei... Of course, I know from his actions that it doesn’t seem that way, but I still want to hear it from Feifei herself. Even though my assets are nothing to him, this is about Feifei’s dowry and her future!"

Sensing her father’s concern, Qi Fei smiled. "Dad, you’re worrying too much. Wu Yun is almost completely open with me. I know exactly how many companies he has and how many girlfriends he has. As for his total assets, I’ve never asked."

"Dad, put yourself in his shoes. If you were that rich, would you be willing to buy Mom a property worth a hundred million, jewelry worth millions, and spend another one or two hundred million to start a company to support her career?"

Hearing Qi Fei’s question, Qi Guo caught a glimpse of Liu Yan looking at him with great interest out of the corner of his eye. He answered without a second thought, "Of course I would!"

"And what about Mrs. Leng and Mrs. Lin?"

"I’d make sure they were well-provided for and could live comfortably, that’s enough. Oh! Right, your question reminds me... I need to think about the inheritance issue."

"Your two little brothers are still young, but I need to start making preparations." Qi Guo thought of his two sons, born out of wedlock, and sighed. Although he visited their mothers often, the two women just couldn’t get along and would start fighting the moment they saw each other.

Liu Yan spoke up then. "Let me make this clear. I’m your lawfully wedded wife. Feifei has the legal right to inherit. As for your two little sons, I don’t mind you giving them some money so they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives, but they can forget about touching the family fortune!"

Seeing the topic had gone off the rails, Qi Fei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was always like this whenever the subject of her father’s other two "families" came up.

In the past, Qi Guo had tried bringing them all together for the New Year, but Mrs. Leng and Mrs. Lin could never stand the sight of each other. So now, they all celebrated separately. Liu Yan, taking on the role of the senior wife, would occasionally meet with each of them individually.

"Dad! Weren’t we talking about Wu Yun?" Qi Fei quickly changed the subject. "You were saying he wants to invest in real estate with you?"

Escaping Liu Yan’s nagging, Qi Guo said with a laugh, "Since you’re so certain, then I’ve decided! I’m going to work with Wu Yun to grow the company! My goal isn’t too grand. I’m not saying we’ll become a national giant like Evergrande or Wanda, but we will become one of the top real estate companies in Rongcheng!"

In that moment, Qi Guo’s ambition was rekindled. He felt as if he were twenty years old again, full of drive and picturing the brightest possible future.

"Dad, I believe in you!"

"Honey, I believe in you too!" Liu Yan felt like she was seeing the Qi Guo of her youth again—handsome, confident, charming, and strong! She had a feeling he’d be extra capable tonight.
